Currently, when configuring a Kubernetes Cluster Connector in Harness for OpenShift clusters, the documented and supported authentication method is via Service Account Token. However, OpenShift also supports OIDC (OpenID Connect) as a native authentication mechanism.

Feature Request:

Add support for OIDC-based authentication when connecting to OpenShift clusters via Harness Kubernetes Cluster Connectors.

Current Limitation:

As per current documentation and validation, Harness supports only Service Account Token for authenticating OpenShift clusters. Attempts to use OIDC for connector authentication are not supported or documented.

Impact:

Enabling OIDC support would unlock a broader range of secure authentication patterns and improve Harness adoption in enterprise OpenShift environments.
